[Verse 1]
Standin' at the door of the pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a run-around, a lost and found, and not for me I feel

[Chorus]
Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me, say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

[Verse 2]
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit, but it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less and now your life's a mess, so insecure, you see
Well, I put up with all the scenes and this is one scene that's goin' to be played my way

[Chorus]
Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me, say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Say hello and wave goodbye
[Verse 3]
Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin' down
Well hey, little girl, you will always make up, so take off that unbecoming frown
As for me, well, I'll find someone who's not goin' cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife, who'll give me a steady life and not keep going off the rails

[Chorus]
Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me, say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

[Bridge]
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
We were born before the wind
Who are we to understand?
We were born before the wind
Say goodbye
Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye
Get on the train, train, train
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling
